Jump-Starting - Dodge Viper SRT-10 User Manual

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• Use the gloves provided in the Accessory Storage Compartment when operating the
TIREFIT kit.

JUMP-STARTING

Any procedure other than the following could result in:
• Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent,
• Personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion,
• Damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or of the immobilized
vehicle.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be hurt by the fan.
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes,
skin or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when attaching clamps or allow the
clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in your eyes or on skin, flush the
contaminated area immediately with large quantities of water.
• A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep flames
or sparks away from the battery vent holes. Don't lean over the battery when
attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other.
• If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start
from another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly, so
follow this procedure carefully.
